Chatham has a powerful story to tell, one of innovation, rebellion & creativity, shaped by its maritime heritage & driven by the energy of its communities, I am hoping it will become the first UK Town of Culture in 2028 #ChathamTownofCulture2028
So much for us to do & be proud of

I am sad to hear that Brian Lewis died at the end of July. He was a great editor of the @KentishExpress and nurtured many young journalists including @leowhitlock editor of the same paper and more. I have been v lucky to work with so many talented people over the years....

So lovely that HRH Queen Camillia has become a liveryman @StationersHall today - we share her passion for literacy skills and although our history lies in the printed word we now support many activities across the content and communication industries in this digital era.
